Bruce Willis is taking a childhood friend to court, claiming he has "wrongfully retained possession" of private photos and videos belonging to the actor. The Die Hard star filed suit against Bruce DiMattia on Tuesday in Los Angeles, accusing his former pal of attempting a "shakedown." In the court documents, obtained by Tmz.com, Willis explains DiMattia worked for him for four years, organizing his private archive of family photographs and video, until the movie star was forced to dismiss him earlier this year. Things turned nasty when DiMattia refused to give up the home Willis gave him during his employment. The suit claims DiMattia has informed Willis he plans to pen a book about the actor's private life, which the actor insists will feature "falsehoods and lies that could embarrass" him. The actor says that DiMattia has "threatened to unlawfully exploit private family photographs and memorabilia" belonging to him, and to sell a manuscript containing lies about the star, unless Willis "agrees to pay him over $100,000 and buy him a car." Willis is seeking damages of over $1 million and the return of private documents, photographs and video.
